Remember at the beginning of Mad Max where the narrator talks about “The day the black stuff ran out.” It was a crazy nutty fantasy movie about there being no more oil. Of course, that day will never come. You know why? Because we are going to vandalize SUVs, eat more tofu, use one plastic bag instead of two, and ride a bike with a sticker that says “No Blood for Oil.” Just kidding! That will only give us about 48 more minutes of oil. What we really have to do is go through the Middle East starting wars with everyone so we can take over their land and inevitably, control their oil. Just kidding! That will only buy us another week or so. Whether you’re a college kid with a Mohawk or the most gullible president in history you can’t avoid the inevitable truth that we’re out and Mad Max is just around the corner. We warned you about this two years ago but here’s James Howard Kunstler saying the same thing only way more sciencey (and with a totally contrived happy ending). Who knew Bush and crusty punks had so much in common?

This mag is a piece of shit. Only reason I come here it to make fun of it on it’s own message sites which is funny as shit.
Fact: I could write a more interesting article with my eyes shut.
Proof: I would start by writing an actual RELEVENT article base on the facts outlined here http://www.hermes-press.com/impintro1.htm
Basically if the Iraq war doesn’t make sense to you it sure as fuck will after you hear actual data about out how much money US Government run oil companies are making from it. After UNOCAL and Haliburton (two of the biggest US Government oil companies) have finished building their pipeline from Afganistan, through Iran, Iraq and into Asia to be sold to the Asians the US will be in control of the worlds largest oil supply.
What? You didn’t actually believe all that shit about those countries being an axis of evil did you? Hahahahaha! Don’t be a retard. We don’t even know if Bin Ladin and the Afganistan taliban really plotted 9-11, the only video where Bin Ladin admits to it is a fake, google it and watch for yourself if you don’t believe me (and be prepared to SHIT YOUR FUCKING PANTS when you realize it’s not really Bin Ladin, AND BE PREPARED TO PUKE WHEN YOU TURN THE VOLUME UP AND HEAR AN AMERICAN WHISPER TO THE CAMERA MAN WHICH WAY TO POINT HIS FUCKING CAMERA.)

Here is the link to the fake Bin Ladin tape where he “admits” to 9-11.

This isn’t some bullshit like America never landed on the moon THIS IS THE REAL FUCKING DEAL, a real life fucking government conspiracy that Bush to this day passes off as fact.
It’s only sounds ridiculous until you click the fucking link for yourself, and prepair to say HOLY FUCKING SHIT when you see the side by side conparison between the real Bin Ladin and the tapes African American imposter.

What, you mean America isn’t really liberating Iraq, but started this war FOR PROFIT?!?!?!
Wake the fuck up retard, your newsflash was well known even before Saddam left his palace for a hole in the ground. The practice of war for profit is older than your grandfather, WWII is what cured America of the great depression. So if you’re bitching about destroying Iraq, you better be riding public transportation everywhere and recycling everything or else your a hypocrite and retarded.
If your stupid enough to think your dimwitted observation is news to people, maybe you should be writing testimonials for that company that publishes hooked on phonics. You could be their “before” ca

Yes, it’s all for oil blah blah blah. 9-11 was faked. Etc etc. You know how many people feel that way? Oh about half the population. How controversial.
If you really want to challenge yourself why don’t you go to nowarforIsrael.com and look into how long Jewish neocons AKA Bush’s entire administration AKA ex liberals, have been pushing for this war.
Your’e not blowing our minds by calling Bush a pawn. His approval rating is 37%. Everyone knows he’s a pawn. The question is - for who? Haliburton is the easy guess but have a peek at Israel.

Of course Isreal wants this war.
The Muslims are Isreals greatest threat.
But without Haliburton or Unocal this war would have never happened, they are the driving forces behind it, and yes, they are run by the US government under the disquise of being “private” companies. How else do you explain how the new President of Afganistan is the former head of Unocal, or Dick Cheney was the former head of Haliburton? How about how Haliburton now comprises about half our military effort? Our military is greatly run by Haliburton, or military could not function without Haliburton. Cheney set this up when he was head of Haliburton through clever manuvering. This is why Haliburton won a no contest bid in the US-Iraq war effort, because our army can no longer function without them. there is a MOUNTAIN of data to back this up, you can google it.
As for Isreal’s motives, I don’t disagree with them. I’m bias because of my own religious affiliation as a Jew and have no sympathy for the Palestinians or Muslims. They need to get over it. Isreal was the Jews land 2,000 years before the Muslims, than it became the Muslims and now it’s the Jews again. THEY NEED TO GET OVER IT.

I support Isreal but I refuse to believe that the only answer was bloodshed. Especially when those who benefit most are afew government officials and oil executives WHO WERE ALREADY RICH TO BEGIN WITH.
The American people does not need Middle East oil. We can run our transportation system through nucleur power by building the worlds first electro-magnetic highway system. THIS IS NOT WISHFUL THINKING. The investors, blueprints, and builders have been standing by for almost six years waiting to build this but the government wouldn’t allow it, they are making too much money building there own highways with inferior technology and off the oil needed to power them which is provided by government run oil companies like Unocal.
The electro-magnetic highway is the same tech as the Tokyo bullet trail, you drive your car onto a platform which lock your wheels into place and propels you on a rail, with speeds exceeding 300 miles per hour in some cases and 0 probability of collision.
April 2nd, 2006
LOL. An electro magnetic highway. You think the government is shutting down alternative energy plans? Have you ever heard of MATH? There is an ever increasing population using a finite resource. Got it? You can come up with all the nuclear fission plans and solar panels you want. They still need oil to manufacture them and we’re out (google “the long emergency”). Any way you flip it, 6 billion people are out of oil. We need infinitely more energy than we have.
You are an angry young Jew looking for an enemy because you hate the war in Iraq but it has very little to do with oil you fuck. It’s YOU. It’s Israel.

I think Isreal should be moved to Winnipeg. Seriously, move all 7,000,000 zionist to central Canada, set them up as a “distinct society” and let them have there own province. They can live in safty under the protection of the Americans, no more car bombs, no more UN resolutions, no more mossad and no more IDF killing journalists… just peace and quite. The Canadian’s get american funding, a greatly updated millitary and a much needed population increase. The arab’s get there land back. It’s a win/win/win.
Rename Moose jaw “new jeruslium” or something and everyone will be happy.
Canada, for whatever reason, is uniquely able to deal with winny ethnic groups… look at how well they handled the french. Could the jews really be that much worse?

To the bitter Jewish journalism school reject:
everyone knows that shit and SURPRISE doesn’t really care. Many are of the persuasion that if the world is being (inarguably) populated too fast, the muzzies might as well be first to go considering their birthrates.
P.S.
Maybe you should look at the price for mag-lev train in China, which is not the same technology as Tokyo bullet train by the way imbecile because magnets DON’T USE RAILS (lev in name stands for levitate). Maybe then you will understand why it is not more widespread. You are too naive, go apply for work at McDonalds

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
First of all the “Magnetic highway” was going to be built between Phenix and LA six years ago. The reason it wasn’t is because the government stepped in and proclaimed their monopoly over public transportation. They would not allow a private company to build a superior product that would take money away from the governments inferior gravel road product. THE FUCKING MAGNETIC HIGHWAY WAS FULLY FUNDED, A MILE WAS ALREADY BUILT IN THE DESERT, OLDSMOBILE BUILT A FULL SIZED PROTOTYPE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW HIGHWAY, YOU FUCKING SMALL MINDED HICK RETARDS!
I can only imagine your a southern hick retard bush supporter, only your sort are so FUCKING STUPID and NAZI LIKE in your hatred for Jews as you make obvious in your posts.
The Long Emergency?! Hahahahaha. Your mean that fucking gay, anarcy supporting, excuse for a prediction of what is going to happen in the future? What a fucking joke. Only a fraction of it is even accurate.
Energy running out is inevitable soon?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!
You fucking HICK RETARD. Maybe oil will run out but do you HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA HOW MUCH ENERGY IS LOCKED INSIDE OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE 1000000000000000 TO THE POWER OF 1000000000000000000 TO THE POWER OF 10000000000000000000000 ATOMS ON OUR PLANET?!!?!!?!?
April 2nd, 2006
Lastly, we didn’t go to war for oil as you claim?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHa. Fucking retard, now I remember, we went to war for the people of Iraq cause Saddam once killed 100 villagers who had attempted to assassinate him. I’m sure Bush would have patted the assassines on the back right? Anyway, yeah, we went to war cause Saddam once killed 100 Iraqi’s right? WE HAD TO STOP HIM!!!! So that’s why we killed 30,000 + CIVILIANS WHEN WE INVADED IRAQ.
Is that your logic? You fucking retard.
If you had any idea about Iraq /Afganistan/ Iran oil and the Russian deal with Iraq for oil and how all this relates to the war you would think before opening your mouth and making a mockery of human intelligence, you hick retard idiot.
the south couldn’t handle a civil war like how they can’t even handle a country with NO WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION. I say bring it on. I’ll fight for the North like my ancestors and BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU DUMBMASSES ALL OVER AGAIN.
“But Jews can’t fight. Jews are wimps.”
Yeah, that’s probably why tiny Isreal is feared by practically a whole contenent of middle eastern enemies who Isreal beats the shit out of. Ever see Munich? DON’T FUCK WITH THE JEWS, YOU WILL DIE IN THE END, JUST LIKE FUCKING HITLER YOU NAZI.
Fucking hick facist retard.

The electro mag highway was never a government project, it was corporate. YOU WOULD PAY TO RIDE IT. That is how it was going to cover it’s 3-6 billion dollar cost. Hey listen buddy, IT WAS ALL ALREADY PAID FOR, INVESTORS HAD ALREADY BEEN FOUND. It was going to cost 8 dollars per vehicle from Pheonix to LA. Do the math, costs would have been covered in only a few years.
Lastly, infact a magnetic highway was going to use rails that would focus the electromagnetism. It’s hard for me explain here without being able to show a diagram. But yes, it does run on rail, though the platform never touches them.
